The Houston Texans are a fantasy football D/ST waiver wire pickup and streamer. Week 17 (2023) fantasy football team defenses - free agent waiver wire adds.
BALLER MOVE: 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Texans were one of the many disappointing DSTs in Week 16, scoring 4.7 fewer fantasy points than their PPG average. They were missing a key piece of their defensive unit with rookie sensation Will Anderson Jr. missing his second straight game with an ankle injury.

Anderson’s status is unknown for Week 17, but with the Texans in a crowded playoff hunt, I assume they’ll do what they can to get Anderson on the field. Either way, the Texans are a strong play this week with an advantageous matchup with the 28th-ranked Titans. The Titans have allowed an average of five sacks per game over the last four games, including at least six in three of those four. The Texans, without Anderson Jr., registered seven sacks against the Texans only two weeks ago (in Tennessee).
